#tim and Sam bffs

[shesaducktim]

Sam’s been hanging around with Tim that’s for sure

[some-rotten-nest]

Random DC/DP headcannons bc I can't sleep

Expect many typos

Danny hates storms, especially thunderstorms bc of the lighting cracking in the sky

Danny wears a power cuff like a bracelet that dampens his more violent powers bc he's scared of them (wail, large-scale ice like with undergrowth etc)

In one of his magazines, instead of bullets Jason keeps solid ectoplasm just in case, and so it's not conspicous

In his Phantom form Danny has a streak of black hair where his white usually is

Jason is fright knight (unless it's a Jason-Danny biologically related fic. Ghost Zone law says no one you share blood with (clones included) can become fright knight (but they can join the court and have other ranks))

Danny made a contingency plan against himself and with the help of a sibling (Cass most likely, though she did seem a bit sad) got it on the bat-computer. Password protected so Danny can't get into it. Bruce doesn't know and won't know until/if Danny goes bad. Bruce made a separate one for him.

Tim gets low and non-harmfil doses of ectoplasm in his coffee bc it is like a shit ton of caffeine for a living person. (Yes, some Amity Park drinks have ectoplasm in them too)

Danny asks Bruce, Tim and Lucius for help with Ghost King Shit TM

Duke has to squint when looking directly at ectoplasm (Danny's trying to find some solution but there isn't one)

Jason has a shadow core

Damian got extinct animals from Danny as a birthday gift multiple times (a dodo bird named Delilah, a messenger pigeon names Luke and a splendid posion frog named Ares)

To piss Bruce off, Jason got a pterodactyl he's named Flynn that he takes on patrol. Safe to safe, people get a hella more scared of Red Hood. Bruce hates it but Jason does actually love Flynn and Bruce can't bring himself to take Flynn awya

Danny made a patrol playlist for every member of the bat family and beyond bc he has one for when he goes out as Phantom (they all listen to their playlists and love them)

Before Danny was fully pulled into the family, he'd flinch at Dick's escrima sticks and still catches himself staring the weapon, his heart pounding

Danny found out Captain Marvel was a kid bc while on a mission with him, Captain Marvel pointed out that there was a pirate ship hovering above them and that Danny should probably deal with that. He'd, and any other Amity Parker that overhead, never laughed so badly in his entire life. Billy was never so scared & confused.

Bart and Danny are friends bc Dan had leveled most of the future before the Beatles took over what was left (I'm actually not that sure about Bart's backstory so feel free to correct me if something's wrong here)

Cass and Danny have staring contests alot. Sometimes the others think they've fallen asleep with their eyes open. They didn't.

Danny had a Twitter account for Phantom without Bruce knowing, but when Steph was trying to convince Bruce to let her have one she mentioned it and Danny had to delete it (he has an alt he now posts every embarrassing thing Batman does and has ever done)

Puns. So many puns between Dick & Danny.

Danny mumbles in his sleep

Crows flock to Danny like hungry tigers. Damian's envious but he gets to pet & feed them so it's mostly okay.

GW likes Jason and let's him borrow books whenever he wants to (also any destroyed book ends up with GW but that's a pretty common hc) but Jason has to swear not to give them to Danny. Not that Danny wants them.

Duke is helping Tucker out with studies and Tucker Duke with tech. Technus sometimes shows up too to help.

Johnny and Jason are dEAD bffs

Sam and Babs get on like a house on fire

Talia met Danny and they're actually friendly to each other. Sure, she's trying to trick Danny into giving her his throne, but Danny knew that and wasn't about to let that happen

Danny will randomly punch his siblings, smirk, then bow and say "my leige" and run away. The sibling now has the crown and is chasing to punch Danny back because honestly fuck that

Constantine is slightly terrified of Danny and Bruce uses it like a threat-- "John, if you don't answer, Danny will contact you." It works like a charm

When too excited, Danny and Jason will start talking in Ghost speech. It freaks everyone else but Damian and Cass out bc the same sounds came from the pits

Take, edit, have fun with whatever you want here. It's just bs that crawls around my brain for funsies and won't let me sleep.

Dp x dc

The classic battle between the bf and the bff, with Damian(the boyfriend) and Tim(the best friend, besides Sam and tucker), but this time, in the the ghost Roman colleseum.

Danny is seeing the battle with a exasperated look in all his ghost king regalia, more like an roman emperor (Roman section ghosts corstesy)

The Stark Legacy (8)

Longing, part of Book 1: Reality (see previous or series)

Summary: Samantha gets caught stealing supplies from a Harvard Lab...but what is the man who catches her stealing?

Warnings: vague medical procedure descriptions, needles, threatening with a gun (not fired)--also, I have no idea how to get the pic to stop doing that. Rated Teen/Mature so 15+ only, please.

CHAPTER EIGHT—April 2038

Her feet already hurt when Sam entered through the loading area of the Laboratory Sciences building as she’d done several times over the past few years. She’d spent forty minutes wandering the campus, fuming over how Tony had behaved and how she had just stood there like an idiot.

The security guards almost never checked the dock between 1am and 4am because Brian was super lazy, and ‘porky’ as his co-workers described, while Tim was too tired after getting in as many steps as possible earlier in his shift. Tim really enjoyed rushing straggler students out of the building, sending them into a panic over how to make up lab hours for their classes. That joy lasted Tim until approximately 1:15am, after which he became grumpy and had a dissatisfying snack, and then Brian would be responsible for an excruciatingly slow check of the building 45 minutes later. What would take a normal person 15 minutes took Big Boy Brian nearly 25, which he would say was the start of the 45 minute down time. This normally meant an hour or more of time to get in and out of the building; now she had half that. 

Of course, Sam had no need to sneak in; she could walk right in whenever she wanted.  However, walking in and saying hello would leave a trace of when she actually came and went, and she was in absolutely no mood to chit-chat with Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dumb. She also had full access, to the security programming of the whole university, thanks to Missy. Sam could access the building with a keycard unattached to any personnel, and the log was then wiped by her BFF. Missy would most certainly ask Sam why she arrived so much later than expected for pick up, and then Sam would then have to explain her ‘date’ with Lucas Sommerson. She’d cross that bridge when she came to it.

Inside the building, Sam needed to go to three different storage rooms and two labs to use or ‘borrow’ equipment. She hit the labs first so she didn’t haul around supplies, then the first storage closet, but on her way to the second, nothing seemed out of place until she rounded a corner about 100 feet from her closet. An exterior lab was awash with light, and once she thought to listen for them, Sam could hear voices.

“Up on the table, Todd. Can you get up there from the chair? We are ready to start the transfusion.”

Transfusion? Procedures are not done inside this building except on rare necropsy occasions,Sam thought, and no one would perform a dissection at 1:49 in the morning. She inched forward to read the plaque outside of the room.

Professor Simon Marshall. 

She’d heard of him, read a few of his chemistry papers on synthetics and substitutions in pharmaceuticals, but Sam had never met him in person. Worst case scenario she could woo him with her knowledge of his research and keep him going with questions. But again, why a transfusion?  Odd. She returned to the supply closet to fill her purse with disposables and sterile implements, but she hadn’t propped the door open to minimize noise from hinges. She wasn’t quiet enough. The door opened before her hand reached the knob.

Sam stared in complete confusion at the bizarre man across from her, a fierce widow’s peak of dark hair capping an olive complexion with sharp chiseled features and a beard reminiscent of Tony’s. 

“Come with me,” he demanded and led Sam down the hall. 

Marshall was a much bigger deal than she’d thought if his office and labs were any indication. Curiously, some of the prominently displayed tools and formulas displayed on screens were not chemical but genetic. The man he’d been speaking too still sat in his wheelchair at the base of a cleared table in the primary lab just adjacent to the office. He eyed her suspiciously as the bearded man led her further in to a secondary lab, a dispensary of sorts.

“Would you like to explain why you are stealing supplies?” 

He had an accent she couldn’t place, along with equipment and sample specimens she didn’t recognize. A rack of large vials sat beside a trio of monitors. The labeling was in three languages, two of them typed neatly and a hand-written third. It was the tiny symbol in the labels’ corner that really set off the lightbulb in Sam’s mind: the embossed A of the Avengers.

“Are you Professor Marshall?” Sam asked, assessing her situation.

“His associate. A doctor he works with from time to time,” the man added.

“Well, Doctor, I can see you are busy with…” Sam couldn’t help but scan the closest monitor. “Since when did Marshall study marine biology?” 

She didn’t mean to blurt it out, but all information was a challenge to be conquered. When you grow up with more computers than friends, you don’t have much of a filter. “Selachimorpha or Batoidea? It's definitely elasmobranchii…”

“And me? Do you know me?” The man in the wheelchair came to the door, throwing his head as if to toss his golden locks.

Sam had to study his face and imagine more life in it. His upper body was disproportionate now, so she tried to imagine a smile or catch his profile. The color of his hair actually helped. “You're the swimmer from a few years ago. Artiss, was it?”

“Arliss,” he replied flatly.

“Aren’t you going to ask me what we are doing here,” the doctor added from behind her.

“I don't ask questions that I don't want the answers to,” Sam said with confidence. “That's a waste of time…” She turned back to the sequences; something was off. “It's a splice!” But that wasn’t all, she couldn’t figure it out yet.

“Very good, Miss..?”

She heard a click beside her ear. One of those things that she never asked about was guns, and Sam regretted that in this moment. “Morgan” was all she could get out.

“Well, Miss Morgan, you may help Mr. Arliss become so much more than a swimmer before you die.” Even though the doctor lowered the gun prior to the crux of his threat, Sam’s terror grew exponentially.

“Is someone there?” a voice called from the hallway. 

Her breath caught, just as afraid to be discovered as the armed doctor. Sam looked at her watch. Big Boy was over twenty minutes early with his rounds. The oddities continue.

“The lights,” she whispered in frustration.

The doctor cocked an eyebrow. His eyes shifted as he contemplated options. Finally, he asked, “can you get rid of him?”

“Hello?” Brian called again.

Sam sighed, reluctantly adding “yes.” The doctor motioned for her to go out using the gun. Before crossing the threshold, Sam called for Brian then popped her head out.

“Jesus, Brian, you scared me!”

“Miss Stark? How’d you get in—“

“I was here this afternoon, but I passed out on my books in D7,” she waved down the hall, “they thought it was funny to leave me with the lights off.”

“You shouldn’t be here,” the security guard automatically scolded.

“I’ve got to finish this before—“ Think, Sam, think. Lie better. “My dad’s in town, and I want to show him this work at lunch tomorrow. I mean, today,” she checked her watch. “Oh man, I was out a while! Shouldn’t have pulled an all-nighter—”

“I heard another voice,” Brian fought to be smarter than his pay grade.

“You mean my computer interface? I guess it is kinda a male vocal range.” Oh, I’m kinda good at this.

“You’re what?” Brian struggled, but after a few steps forward. Sam took a few steps back towards the door.

“You wanna see? I’ve been tweaking the AI to be more interactive, but I think a few more bug fixes and he’ll work pretty flawlessly.” Mission accomplished. Brian’s eyes glazed over as he lowered his shoulders in disinterest and fatigue.

“You didn’t go to your dad’s lecture?” Brian seemed more disappointed that she had missed it than Sam felt for having gone. “I’m sorry, but they’ve told us these buildings are off-limits tonight for the event. Can you pack it up in…” he checked his watch, too, “half an hour or so?”

She contemplated arguing for more time. It might not work and only served to draw attention.

So Sam saluted Brian, saying, “I’ll give her all she’s got, Captain.” That’ll keep him happy.

Big Boy chuckled. “Ok, Sam, see ya downstairs.” 

Bingo.

Sam sauntered back to Marshall’s offices proud of her performance only to deflate when faced with the gun’s barrel once again.

“Hello, Samantha Stark,” the doctor whispered.

The way he accented her name triggered something in her memory. “Sharks,” she burst, “it’s shark DNA, isn’t it?”

This seemed to frustrate the doctor profusely. “Has anyone ever told you you are too smart for your own good?”

She thought in earnest, but that was more difficult with a weapon pointed at her. “Not sure anyone has been smart enough to notice…” She awkwardly made moves to raise her hands up. “Also I don’t get out much.”

It was Todd Arliss who snickered. “That I can believe. Doctor, let’s get on with it before you have to blow the mall-cops to high hell.” He locked his chair and expertly used all that arm strength to dismount onto the table.

“Come, Nurse Stark, you can prep the patient,” the doctor waived the gun again. “Hook up two  lines, one in each arm.”

“I’m not trained to use needles,” Sam started to say. “I’m not that kind of student here.”

“Then put them in my legs. I won’t know how badly you’ve stuck me,” Todd seemed restless, anxious to be done.

Sam shook. It was hard to get her hands to do anything, much less help. “I…I don’t want to hurt you.” She looked up at Todd. 

He rolled his pants legs up. “What is it you want to do with your life, young thing?”

Gosh, we’re asking the deep questions today… “Something no one else can.” It was such a vague statement, yet Sam meant it. 

“As do I,” Todd responded, “as I soon will.”

Sam forgot herself for a moment and smiled. It was a warm feeling to make a friend, but Sam wasn’t sure this was the same. Perhaps just a flash of a kindred spirit, willing to break a few rules to better his life, to make a breakthrough. When she lifted her eyes from the needles, the doctor was staring at her. Sam’s blood went cold.

She shuffled around to find a fresh IV catheter. “I can do it again if it’s wrong.”

The doctor came to investigate. “You will not be needed anymore,” his deep voice replied.

Sam sucked air in so fast it made a small whistling sound. He put up a hand. “I, too, would like to see what your mind can do. Therefore, I will make you a deal.” He waited, keeping eye contact.

Her nervous swallow made a huge gulping noise, and Sam hesitantly replied “okay.”

“You agree to leave and never speak of myself and Mr. Arliss being here—“

“Done,” Sam jumped.

“—and keep those men from snooping around—“

Sam learned quickly. This time she only nodded.

“—and in exchange—“

She expected to leave with her life; that would be lucky…and ideal, but this day was full of oddities.

“—I will give you a gift. Something to give you the ability to do what no one else can.”

Sam was so dumbfounded, she became stone. After a serious pause, she added, “that would be pretty great.”

“She’s a smart one, Lem,” Todd smirked.

Sam looked around for some props for her next run in with the guards. “The professor could let me borrow some books, right?”

Ten minutes later, Sam stumbled out the building carrying a giant stack of texts, and a full, padded bag of samples and supplies.

“I did say half an hour, but I’m nowhere near done of course,” she called towards the quizzical look of Tim who was holding his carrot sticks, mouth agape. 

Brian hustled forward. “Do you need help, Miss?”

“No, no. I could use the upper-body workout,” Sam met Tim’s eyes. He cheered her with a carrot. “I managed to lock the door without turning off the lights though. So I’ll text the professor not to be worried in the morning, ok?”

Everyone nodded.

“Night, guys,” Sam called over her shoulder, wobbling under the weight of the pile and the ache of her feet. Her adrenaline carried her the rest of the way home. She couldn’t wait to tell Missy that they had a new project, a real challenge to work on.

i just stare at the world...

...i onda razmisljas. sta ciniti? a razmisljas vec toliko dugo. stvari se u biti mnogo ne menjaju sa tim spodobama. tu je gomila govana koje znas da ne mozes da ocistis, da satres sa zemljom, da zakopas 2 metra ispod iste. niti te briga za sva ta govna. sustinski, pikiras ih samo dvoje, troje. imas toliko opcija, a nijedna nije bas nesto. podsvest stalno skenira i trazi eureku. trazi da prelomi koplje na nekom. to je instinkt, to je bes, to je mrznja. samo jednog da dohvatis, poruka je poslata. i neka pravda je ispunjena. kvazi pravda. opcija 2, kvazi raskrinkavanje. ali koga boli kurac? ovi sto kmece po medijima, zrtve i ovce, nikog ne zanimaju. nema tu spotlight-a. "svima su kicmu polomili". ali ja nisam andjeo. ni blizu. ja sam crna ovca. koja tumara izmedju ovih i onih, zivota i smrti, zla i dobrog. jer je zabole racku za sve, manje ili vise. volela bih da sam vuk. ali nisam. opcije, opcije, opcije... sad mi se slusa corba. ali postacu emotivna (jer je muzika jedna od retkih stvari koja moze u meni da probudi emociju), i to onda ce da mi se ispreci u danasnjim planovima. a mozda i sutrasnjim. moja ex bff (sve su ex, btw), rece jednom: nema ljubavi vise u svetu. zena trazi ljubav. sustinski, to vam je obicna prostitutka in guise koja se ugojila 40 kg i sad laprda o ljubavi. ali izmuzla me dobro za zivota, i to dva. ok, sta ces. saki zavrnula cesmu i 'nas ono, nema vise zvaka za ludaka. opet razumem ja prostitutke, da me ne razumete pogresno. (ako razumes nesto, kako to mozes pogresno da radis...? svasta prolazi u verbalizaciji nedovoljno recenog, jer tako smo u mogucnosti?)... elem... nemam nista protiv njih, samo neka odrzavaju racun cistim, duza je "ljubav". dakle koga boli kurac? sta ljudi traze? "narod", sta ishte? leba i igara? pa da. haj se igramo onda. na bazicnom nivou. kazem sebi, saki, imaj muda. crna ovca sa mudima. to, buraz. kakva se bagretina okotila oko mene, a ja sam ti BG elita, alo! haram, dzaram i karam od pamtiveka ovim gradom i njegovim podzemljem, ali sjebase me lately. sjebo me zivot. znala si, saki. znala si futur. spremala si se. imala si i tad opcije. oli vamo, oli tamo? halo halo halo halo halo, rece covek x puta u roku od 10 sekundi. ne zna se ko koga i gde. elem, nisam vuk. saki, nisi vuk. budi skromna, budi realna. eci peci pec, gde ti je u rukavu kec? opcija 3... nemam pojma. zaboravila sam, seticu se pa keep in touch. ne stvarno, daske zovu koliko i papir.

Columbo Crossovers(Part 1/?, Podcasts)

Still alive, Columbo fandom? Well, this one’s for those of you who’ve migrated to podcasts, looking for a little something to listen to, that, much like the show, will keep you hooked. 

(This is me making the list.)

For those lost, I’d suggest reading this post. 

This is like an assorted chocolate box of podcasts, so if you see something you like, you should definitely use it! (Don’t forget to credit me, though.) Prompts under the cut, so let’s go! 

(Needless to say, there will be spoilers for every single one of these, up to the point I’ve listened to, but anyway, SPOILER ALERT! Also, slight fantasy-sci-fi element here, in that Columbo owns a time machine and can travel to various fiction podcast plotlines.)

1. Welcome to Night Vale: Columbo lands up in a weird town, but not just ANY weird town. Oh no, this one has strange lights above the Arby’s, an infinite dog park, and a a scientist with perfect hair. (For the dynamics, basically, Columbo gets the feeling that while Cecil has killed a lot of people, he is still a good person. Columbo is practically BFFs with Carlos though, and the both of them keep rambling about their respective interests(classical music and science respectively). 

Basically, they like this stranger. 

2. Kaleidotrope: Being from the 70s, Columbo is initially baffled by the ‘Sidle-Smith magic’, but it’s oddly endearing. Much like the rest of the students, he is able to get behind shipping the hosts quite whole-heartedly. (He cracks the whole ‘Drew-Cal’ thing pretty quickly, but doesn’t actually tell anyone.)

3. The Magnus Archives: Columbo comes off as being Distortion-y because of his incessant rambling, but he actually serves the Eye. Make of that what you will. (Despite their initial differences, he actually gets along really well with Jon, despises Elias and bugs him at every opportunity, and buddies it up with Tim and Martin. Being like a Distortion element, he also gets along well with Helen, and sees her as a true friend.)

4. The Penumbra Podcasts: As there are two wildly different stories going on here, this will have two parts: 

The Juno-verse(Juniverse?): This one is entirely up to imagination, as both Juno and Columbo can be adapted into infinite varieties of detective stories. (Juno is a dramatic, also jealous lady, but he finds the little detective kinda cute, Rita fluffs his(Columbo’s) cheeks incessantly, and Nureyev just enjoys having a partner he can ramble with/at). 

The Second Citadel: Again, much like the Juniverse(yep, I’m sticking with that now), SC has a very adaptable storyline. (Marc would be pretty indifferent to Columbo, actually, though he’s glad to have someone who understands the trials of the Police exam. Talfryn would be overjoyed to have someone to talk to who’s genuinely nice, and isn’t Marc.)

5. Wooden Overcoats: Columbo goes to Piffling Vale for a bit of work, and is absolutely baffled by the the fact that people keep dying there all the time. He talks about this to the missus, every chance he gets, and she’s reasonably fed up of ‘these fancy Channel Brits who keep killing each other!’. (He’d get behind the Funn twins initially, then does a 180 and hones in on Marjorie. During his visit, he also chats it up with Agatha Doyle, and despite finding her rather incompetent, he still likes her and her sweets.)

6. Victoriocity: Columbo lands up in season one, is amazed at the size and wonder of Even Greater London, and is immediately rescued by Fleet and Clara, before his brain collapses in on itself. The shenanigans that ensue are both wacky and heartwarming, much like the podcast itself.(He’d get along with both of them very well, even if in different ways.)

7. Death by Dying: Columbo needs a break. He’s just come off from a very stressful case, and he needs to SLEEP. Call it wishful thinking, call it serendipity, but before he knows it, he lands up in Crestfall, Idaho, and meets a certain dramatic-but-well-intentioned Obituary Writer(@deathbydyingpod​). They run around for a while solving cases together, and talk about the things that interest them most, as well as the ‘perils associated with the job’. It’s a fun little visit, and eases off their burdens, atleast temporarily. 

8. The Bright Sessions(Note: This only includes TBS proper, as I don’t really know how to fit Columbo into the sides and haven’t really listened to the AM Archives, or the College tapes yet.) : Columbo is an Atypical(duh) with the ability to witness all events, be they past, present or future. According to Dr. Bright, he’s officially a Class E, but is actually a Class A, with a reasonable control of 6. Besides, look at the guy, Wadsworth. Does he look like he could hurt anyone? (As for dynamics, just like with Kaleidotrope, he’s pretty confused about Caleb and Adam, but is happy for them nonetheless. All the counselling women(Dr. Bright, Sam, Chloe) find him endearing, and though he gets RANCID vibes from Damien, he gets that he’s coming from a really dark place. Columbo hasn’t met Mark yet, but that’s mostly because everyone’s still in therapy.)

 Well, that’s about it, for now. Part two will be coming up very soon.

[misternikola]

Draga ti, 

ne znam da li je problem u tebi ali sigurna sam da je problem generalno u društvu a i društvenim mrežama gde nam prodaju “bff” “bestie” sliku lažnog prijateljstva. Pravo prijateljstvo je retko. Ne kaže se za džabe da se pravi prijatelji mogu nabrojati na prste jedne ruke, ako i toliko. Prava prijateljstva se stvaraju godinama. I usput budemo prevareni, namagarčeni i izdani od ljudi kojima smo verovali toliko puta. Ono od malena, od pelena, soulmate kinda friend prijateljstvo je još ređe. I oni koji imaju takvo prijateljstvo su blagosloveni kosmičkom lutrijom. Većina ljudi sa kojima se porediš a koji imaju gomilu prijatelja nemaju. Imaju poznanike, drugare, ljude koji su oko njih iz različih interesa. Slično je i sa tim “dvadesete su najbolje i najluđe godine”. Nekom možda i jesu. Većini - nisu. Većini su dvadesete mučne, izgubljene, anksiozne, da li ćeš poludeti ili nećeš jer bi hteo sve a ne ide. Samim tim to kako se osećaš je normalno, sa jedne strane. Sudaraš se sa realnošću i činjenicom da nije sve onako kako su ti govorili ili si ti zamišljala da će biti kada “porasteš” i napuniš xx godina. Svako se u istim godinama oseća drugačije. U zavisnosti od toga kroz šta prolazi, spolja i iznutra. Izbriši sebi iz glave to “imam 21 godinu i treba da se osećam…”. Dopusti sebi da se osećaš kako se osećaš. Zapitaj se: kako se osećam? Kako želim da se osećam? I koja me to uverenja/misli/navike sprečavaju da se tako osećam? Kako mogu sebi da pomognem da se osećam onako kako želim da se osećam? Na primer, želiš da se osećaš - živom. Šta možeš da uradiš da se osećaš tako? Koje te to aktivnosti ispunjavaju? Probaj sebi da prijaš. Da se osećaš dobro sama sa sobom. Možeš biti sama a da ne budeš usamljena. Da li si ti tu za sebe kada sebi trebaš i kada želiš zabavu? Zabavi sebe. Nemoj čekati prijatelje. Budi otvorena za nova poznanstva i nove ljude. Iznad svega, imaj razumevanja za sebe i to kroz šta prolaziš.  Nisi ništa propustila. Tvoje najbolje godine i najbolji dani tek dolaze.

Voli(mo) se

Andrea

If your opinion, which books and characters are TRULY god tier?

now this is a question! leggo..

Okay listen I’m strict with my god tiers books I know. There are a lot of books that are like top quality but we’re talking truly god tier here. God fucking tier. Also I’m only considering completed books at this point, elementalists, ilb, etc. don’t count yet.

God Tier Books (in no particular order)

TCATF

Most Wanted

Bloodbound

Perfect Match

(Desire & Decorum and Ilitw are on the cusp but not quite... not quite)

God Tier Love Interests (the fact that there are no men on here is not a commentary on the quality of the male love intersts so much as the fact that i have no interest in men ya know)

Kamila Sayeed

Hayden Young

King Liam

Annabelle Parsons

Kaitlyn Liao

Val Greaves

Generally God Tier Characters Who Are Not Love Interests

Literally every character in TCATF. Every single one.

Kenna Rys. I know she falls under the last one but she deserves her own bullet point. 

Alana Kusuma (Does she count as a LI? Idk but y’all know I’d die for her)

Maxwell Beaumont (i know he’s a li but I consider him strictly a god tier bff)

Also Hana Lee tbh we love the TRR gang in this house (aside from *redacted*)

ACOR MC

Bloodbound MC

Sam and Dave

Priya Lacroix... i know, i know, come at me... but look her character design is unparaelled, i dare you to name a prettier character (and she could still top me bye)

Mr. Red

That corgi I never adopted in TRR

Tim the free frog familiar

I will not be taking constructive criticism at this time

“The next day I woke up thinking I was born angry”

Sour Heart de Jenny Zhang

Je passe clairement plus de temps à me plaindre de mon métier qu'à dire à quel point parfois il peut être cool. Par exemple quand on me dit : tiens Jenny Zhang est à Paris, ça te dit de la rencontrer et que je dis oui carrément et je lis son livre et c’est une révélation et je sais que je vais pouvoir lui poser toutes les questions qui me passent par la tête à la lecture. Les écrivain.e.s sont mes personnes préférées à interviewer.

C’est drôle parce qu’en préparant mon interview de Jenny Zhang j’ai lu beaucoup de reviews de Sour Heart qui revenaient souvent sur le caractère cruel de ses personnages et sur son intérêt pour les trucs sales. C’est étrange parce que je me suis beaucoup reconnue dans ces personnages. Peut-être que j’étais moi-même cruelle, et un peu dégueulasse.

Sour Heart est une collection de nouvelles qui racontent l’histoire de familles ayant quitté la Chine pour s’installer aux États-Unis, souvent dans des conditions très précaires. Elles sont racontées par le prisme du regard d’adolescentes qui s’interrogent beaucoup sur le lien qu’elles entretiennent avec leurs familles. 

Quand j’ai interviewé cette autrice elle m’a expliqué que beaucoup pensaient que ces histoires étaient “de niche” parce que racontées par une femme asiatique. On a convenu ensemble que l’adolescence était une expérience universelle, des rues de New York à celles de Concarneau. Il y a des choses que je n’ai pas vécues et qu’elle décrit avec beaucoup de rage : la découverte du racisme par cette génération dont elle fait partie, la différence entre l’expérience des parents et celle de leurs enfants, la difficulté de vivre à plusieurs familles dans un appartement, la complexité de savoir qu’on aura toujours des problèmes d’apparence moins graves que ceux de ses aïeux. Et puis il y a tout ce qu’elle dit de l’adolescence qui peut parler à n’importe qui, ce terreau commun, ces mots qui appuient sur de la chair encore tendre et douloureuse. Elle parle comme personne de cette difficulté de réconcilier dans une même conscience l’envie de fusionner avec sa famille et de partir très très loin. De cette découverte visqueuse et étrange de son corps, de ses désirs. De cette envie de s’arracher à soi-même, de se faire un peu mal. Et cette rage, partout, tout le temps, dans chacune de ses phrases. Elle a ce talent d’alterner une longue phrase qui peine à reprendre son souffle et une vérité qu’elle nous flanque là au milieu de la page courte comme une claque. Elle est géniale quand elle offre à ses personnages des monologues intérieurs plein de questionnements et de doutes. Elle capture ce moment où l’on se rend compte qu’on n’est pas le héros des histoires de ses proches. Juste un personnage secondaire. Il faut apprendre à vivre avec. 

“I was fully cognizant and participating in my own creation and suddenly it was clear to me why we don’t remember what it was like to be born—because it would give us too much insight into what it will be like to die. To be present for your own birth was suicide. To know the true wonder of suddenly existing was to know the true fear of suddenly ceasing to exist.”

Sour Heart de Jenny Zhang (Penguin / Random House)

Detroiters sur Comedy Central

Quand je vois ce qui me fait rire, j’ai de la peine pour les scénaristes de série ou de films qui s’embêtent à faire des blagues très élaborées. Je ne sais pas si j’ai eu un plus gros fou rire ces derniers mois que devant ce sketch de Key and Peele dont le ressort comique principale est d’inventer des noms de joueurs improbables (j’ai bien sûr eu de plus gros rires car j’ai la chance de partager la vie de la personne la plus drôle de la planète). 

Il se trouve que Detroiters me fait vraiment rire et à chaque épisode. D’ailleurs, on a commencé à la regarder précisément parce que le personnage de Sam Richardson dans Veep, celui de l’assistant benêt, était l’un de mes favoris. Detroiters raconte l’histoire de deux amis interprétés par Sam Richardson et Tim Robinson (qui sont BFF dans la vraie vie, aww) qui tiennent une agence de pub foireuse. Ils imaginent des spots hyper cheap pour des marques de perruques (Devereaaaaaux) ou pour le vendeur de costumes du coin. Leur amitié passe toujours avant leur business et leur réussite totalement hasardeuse a un goût d’anti-start up nation qui est vraiment jouissive à regarder. Le meilleur épisode est celui avec Keegan-Michael Key (lui aussi originaire de Detroit) où il joue un vendeur de meubles. En tournant sa pub, il n’arrive pas à ne pas sursauter face à un homme arborant un masque de gorille. (dit comme ça c’est débile, dans la série c’est débile, et c’est pour ça que c’est totalement hilarant)

Je ne trouve rien de plus difficile que de dire à quelqu’un : “regarde ça, ça va te faire rire”. J’ai tendance à croire que ce qui me fait rire est universel (spoiler alert : pas du tout). Mais si Detroiters ne vous fait pas rire, peut-être que vous trouverez quand même le duo attachant. Que vous trouverez que c’est plaisant, voire même totalement à contre courant, de voir des gens se foirer et ne pas avoir envie de travailler. Cette glorification de l’échec, du “faire moins” et de la glande me fait, personnellement, beaucoup de bien. 

Detroiters, saison 2 diffusée sur Comedy Central

Oldie, but goodie (ma chanson de tous les étés)

Sur la liberté

Cette semaine, Zadie Smith était à Shakespeare and Co pour les étudiants de NYU et on s’est incrusté pour aller l’écouter. Ça m’a donné très envie de lire son essai Feel Free mais aussi de découvrir les poèmes de son mari Nick Laird. Il nous en a lu quelques-uns, que je peinais parfois à entendre à travers le son des avions et des clameurs de ceux qui fêtaient encore la victoire de la France.

À un moment il a lu un poème sur la mort de sa mère qui m’a fait verser quelques larmes, ça parlait de Dublin et de cigarettes. Et avec son phrasé de poète, il a aussi déclamé Animals de Frank O’Hara, debout derrière son pupitre. Et c’est beau comme, les soirs d’été, les mots peuvent suspendre le temps. 

Animals, Frank O’Hara

Have you forgotten what we were like then when we were still first rate and the day came fat with an apple in its mouth

it's no use worrying about Time but we did have a few tricks up our sleeves and turned some sharp corners

the whole pasture looked like our meal we didn't need speedometers we could manage cocktails out of ice and water

This is what I’ve been doing with my life for the past few days. Designing kids for my Marvel OC, Rori. I did most of these for the fun of it, just because they’re fun. However, there are some of her main ships. They’re kind of not canon though. I have kids for those couples already and the ones on here are just extras I wanted to design. :3 I’ll list the characters (even though you can see their names) and the dad next to them.

Hey, look…

Another writing ask meme!

tagged by @maxrev thanksss!!!

1) How many works in progress do you have?

yikes

well.

Technically Mine. Although it is finished I have a couple edits I want to make and I am posting it on a schedule as an exercise in self control. This is the last fic for Cyn and the Boys, and I will probably retire them after this. It’s really long though. 

Sea and Sky, which is about a sole who marries Maxson but then finds out he married her for convenience and under false pretenses. She runs off only to find herself in the company of his identical twin brother, who is a raider. 

I have the third fic for Sasha and Arthur to write.

Something in my mind for Faye, Arthur, and Danse

A sequel of sorts, or a spinoff, to Only a Look and a Voice, but with Arthur Maxson and an unknown love interest. 

More for Sam Foley and his motley crew of unfortunate companions.

A little collab with @avaleahblog maybe? 

Also, writing Mine gave me plot bunnies. So who knows where that will go. 

2) Do you/would you write fanfiction?

Yeah, that’s pretty much what all this is. I have dreams of writing a book, but I really love the Fallout world and characters. 

3) Do you prefer paperback or ebooks?

I read 99% of books on the kindle app on my phone, these days. I always have it with me, and it’s easy to get a new book immediately when the closest book store is two hours away. I also read fanfic on my phone. It’s cozier that way. Although I have to remember to scroll up instead of flicking over.

4) When did you start writing?

I wrote... a thing. On paper. In like 1996. Which nobody will ever see or even know what it is. I didn’t even know fanfic existed at the time, but that’s what it is. I didn’t finish it, and then I didn’t write another word (except a weird thing with a cat marrying a duck, on the back of a napkin, roughly around 2004.)

Then, well, Danse’s story wasn’t exactly satisfying, and he was cute, so I looked for some pics of him, and stumbled across fics, and then I found the kinkmeme and Arthur Maxson, and then Fire in the Sky just sort of happened and it was a roaring success, so I just.... kept going. and now, I have 59 short to medium length fics on AO3. Because I never do anything halfway. 

5) Do you have someone you trust that you share your work with?

Yes! Lots of people! I’m really lucky. My husband reads some of it (but not all) My bff has read some, although she’s not in fandom at all. I shared a little with my mom and my sisters (my one sister read endgame all in one sitting and cried, and she had no clue who any of the characters were) 

Also @avaleahblog gets a sneak peek from time to time, before I finish.

But most importantly, @syrenpan, my dear friend and frequent co-author, has beta read almost everything I have written since Endgame, and I know that this whole Fallout Fandom thing would not have been what it was for me without her. (<3 you)

6) Where is your favorite place to write?

At the dining room table. I tried hiding in my dungeon (office/spare room) for a while, but it was too quiet and I couldn’t concentrate. Here, I can pick at it, and get up when I can’t think. 

I also sometimes take my computer to the Tim Hortons and write there. I go on Wednesdays usually. It’s my me-time. 

7) Favorite book as a child?

I read every single Little House on the Prairie book like four hundred times. I loved the end when she ends up with Alonzo. <3. It turns out I was just a sucker for the romance, and once I figured out you could get that in books JUST ABOUT ROMANCE I was hooked. I read my first romance novel at about age 12, and I think I’ve read well over two thousand romance novels. 

Fanfic for me is just romance novels set in my favourite game. That I write. 

8) Writing for fun or for publication?

I want to say just fun, but I joined a local writing group and we have a group project that may end up being more professional. It’s not a book though. You probably won’t hear much about it here though, because I will be doing that project under my real name. 

I do want to write a romance novel one day though. I’ve always wanted to do that. If I ever do, I will definitely try to publish it. 

9) Have you taken any writing classes?

No. English in College. And, on a technicality, I took a lot of touch typing classes. 

Most of my writing experience is from just reading a hell of a lot.

10) What inspired you to write?

Besides what I said about Danse’s character arc above, I would say I was inspired to try writing by some of the great fics I read early on after FO4 came out, especially Never Again Unto the Breach by @freshneverfrozen, and this one little fic about Paladin Danse with a lactation kink I read on the kmeme. I don’t know where to find it now but it was kind of slow burny, with a hot kind of awkwardness that I loved. 

It’s kind of weird that such a niche kink started me going, and I have never really touched on that topic again, don’t you think? Hmmm...

***

Anyway, tagging everyone I already mentioned in this post, plus @fancyladssnacks and @gaeadene because I am nosy
